It was quite frustrating having the automated "check my order status" question in the chatbox and having the clients asked about their phone numbers to be able to chat. The process seems overcomplicated. As a client, I would be annoyed to have to provide my phone number for a simple inquire, I would not continue and, frustrated, I would leave the site altogether. I would like to suggest providing the user with the ability to choose what they want to ask the client, if anything, and if they want this "check my order status" to appear. I understand the idea of trying to link the phone number of an existing registered client but I feel that it overcomplicate the communication unnecessarily. Maybe having an option that enables the staff that is chatting with the client to manually assign that chat session to a client would be more suitable. Thank you and I hope to have helped.

The features seem good. However, I did not get any pop up messages with alert sounds on my mobile, which resulted in delay in response to customers. Is there a way to reolve or set up that I did not see. Help required.

Thank you for taking the time and sharing this review! While receiving new messages through mobile notifications can vary depending on your device as suggested on our guide (https://bit.ly/37W2VGK), we'd be happy to pass your feedback to our development team so they can continue to explore ways on improving the mobile notifications for Shopify Inbox.

That being said, if you're looking for real-time notifications, then we'd recommend using the desktop notifications (https://bit.ly/3DyLxDv) feature for the time being. Cheers! -Elias, Shopify Support

For a free application it's fine. I am displeased with the fact that your chat transcripts do not attach to the customer record. Standard SOP for a CRM.

J'utilise Shopify Inbox pour faciliter les échanges avec les clients de mon site e-commerce.
Cela permet à mes clients de me poser très facilement leurs questions, et à moi d'y répondre tout aussi facilement. De cette façon, je suis sûr de n'oublier personne, et d'avoir une bonne réactivité.

I really like the app, but would like it better if you could search for a message instead of going through each one.

I've gone ahead and passed your feedback along to the Inbox Team, so the can consider adding such functionality in a future update. I can't promise when that update may be, but you can feel confident in knowing your feedback was seen. Thanks again! -Imogen, Shopify Support

Nice free app. The only thing that annoys me, is that enter automatically sends the message, and you need to hold shift to make a new line. There should be a setting to disable this, so you can only send by clicking "send"

Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback with us. We understand how automatically sending the message as opposed to creating a new line when hitting enter can be annoying, and we'd be happy to pass this feedback along to our development team. We hope to see this change come to fruition in a future update. Thanks again! -Elias, Shopify Support

The immediacy for the customer is helpful, even if they receive an email reply later. It's also useful to be able to provide instant answer for the most common couple of questions. It has definitely helped us engage, keep and convert customers and inquiries into sales.

I have been using this app for one month. It collects all social communication in one place. Gives you a notification on the spot.

Hello FudgyLove, thanks for leaving feedback!

I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with hearing notifications from your device and desktop. On Android, it is possible to set a ringtone and increase/lower the volume for each individual app. iOS devices do not have control over individual app notifications. When using the desktop version of Ping - each browser can be muted or un-muted to allow for audio. I will follow up with a email to ensure that we get your notification issue sorted out. I'll be in touch!

Kind regards,


Ruby C.
